Read the passage below and in the text box answer the question that follows. Part 3 America Doesn’t Need an Official LanguageBy Carlos LozadaOpinion Columnist (New York Times, March 6, 2025) So, it’s not that I reject the arguments about efficiency and empowerment; I just question the need for a presidential order to enshrine them. I was tested on my English skills when I became a U.S. citizen a decade ago, but the market tells immigrants we must learn the language, more clearly than the government ever could. Where Trump’s order moves from redundancy to confusion to cynicism is in its statement that a single official language will “cultivate a shared American culture” and “reinforce shared national values.” After all, what is our shared culture if not the mix of cultures — including languages — that make and remake America every day? You may as well argue that a single cuisine or a single style of music or a single literary genre is more truly American than any other. Thank God that my immigrant childhood means I can read Cervantes and Mario Vargas Llosa in Spanish and Shakespeare and Toni Morrison in English. If I can, why wouldn’t I? I grew up with two languages, and I regret not learning a third the way other people learn a second. Think how much richer the nation would be if we all knew more languages, not fewer, if we embraced a multiplicity of influences rather than shielding ourselves from them.

Question: What is the author’s main argument against the need to make English the official language of the United States?

Read the passage below and in the text box answer the question that follows. Part 1 America Doesn’t Need an Official LanguageBy Carlos LozadaOpinion Columnist (New York Times, March 6, 2025) I was 3 years old the first time I mixed up Spanish and English. It would not be the last. It was 1975, and my family had recently migrated from Peru to Northern California. Shortly after our arrival, according to Lozada lore, I asked my parents and older sisters, “¿Vamos a tener todo lo sinisario?,” meaning, “Will we have everything we need?” Except I garbled the word “necesario,” coming up with the nonsense word “sinisario.” Everyone chuckled, so I tried to defend myself. “Es que yo no sé inglés,” I said. (“It’s that I don’t know English.”) That made everyone laugh harder, because, of course, my mistake had been in Spanish. It was a preview of what the next five decades would bring, as the two languages jostled for primacy in my mind. Our moves back and forth between the United States and Peru during my childhood compelled me to latch on to whichever language I needed most at different times, even while striving to retain the other. Sometimes my English was stronger, sometimes my Spanish. No one had to tell me which language mattered when, or whether one or the other was “official.” Wherever I was, I knew.
